Dear OCLUG members:
There have been a number of postings over the years asking about good places to get different
services. I have a similar issue now with domain renewal and web hosting renewal coming up,
and possible a slightly different set of needs.
While the list provides answers of various types to such requests, it would probably be useful
if I edited them and presented a summary, which I volunteer to do. (See the oclug wiki for
a recent investigation of jpg captioning I did.)
Below is my set of needs. Comments and opinions welcomed.
See you at meetings, including tonight's at Algonquin P-216b.

Internet hosting
- have domain name (nashinfo.com)
- Need to renew in July. Currently with CADNS
- domain
- points domain to hosting
- Want hosting of some sort for limited services.
Currently with Beck Web Services (lasts until October, but probably simpler
to renew domain, domain pointing, and hosting all together)
- email (but I normally forward it automatically elsewhere)
- small file space (say a few GB)
- limited web pages (static)
- not a lot of traffic
- cpanel
Would like to add
- ssh
- svn
- possibly some other linux services when logged in
via ssh e.g., bash
- Do NOT want
- to have to manage email very much
- to have to do a lot of hardening of "site", i.e., want only to
turn on minimal setup and NOT have to carefully review a
system for things that might be open
